WHE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. (. MONDAY, AUGUST 23, A R —in prominent manufacturing centers and remotely hidden villages throughout the world there are countless thousands of men and women working for YOU every day . . . Yet the results of all this labor would never reach you at so little cost and with so little effort were it not for the modern Department Store. IN PARIS and Pekin—in Naples and New York—in Manila and Madrid Nor are these Department Stores content with merely gathering together, in great expositions, the products of the world . . . The Department Store management realizes that it would be utterly impossible for you to per- sonally inspect all their new arrivals EVERY DAY and so they give you a daily report of their stores in their ads in 7he Star from which you can easily make up your shopping lists in the comfort of your own home. The Department Stores spend thousands of dollars every year to assist YOU in making your purchases. A careful reading of these ads BEFORE you start your shopping trip will save your time and your money . . . READ THE DEPARTMENT STORE ADS—it’s a mighty profitable habit to get into.
